Introduction
The Fluke Calibration 5730A Calibrator (the “Product” or the “Calibrator”) can
calibrate a wide variety of electrical measurement instruments. The Product
maintains a high accuracy over a wide ambient temperature range. This
accuracy lets the Product test instruments in any environment, and eliminates the
restrictions to calibrate only in a temperature-controlled standards laboratory.
The Product can calibrate precision multimeters that measure ac or dc voltage,
ac or dc current, and resistance. The Product also is available with a Wideband
AC Voltage option which extends this workload to include RF voltmeters.
This manual contains specifications, calibration procedures, and verification
procedures. The Product is a fully-programmable precision source of:
•DC voltage to 1100 V
•AC voltage to 1100 V, with output available from 10 Hz to 1.2 MHz
•AC and DC current to 2.2 A, with output available from 10 Hz to 10 kHz
•Resistance in values from a short (0 Ω) to 100 MΩ
•Optional wideband ac voltage from 300 μV to 3.5 V into 50 Ω(-57 dBm to

Use of Absolute and Relative Specifications
To evaluate the Product coverage of the calibration workload, use the Absolute
specifications. Absolute specifications includes stability, temperature coefficient,
linearity, line and load regulation, and the traceability to external standards. It is
not necessary to add anything to absolute specifications to determine the ratios
between the Product specifications and the tolerance requirements of the
calibration workload.
Relative specifications are provided for enhanced accuracy applications. These
specifications apply when range constants are adjusted (see Range Adjustment).
To calculate the absolute specification, combine the uncertainties of the external
standards and techniques with relative specifications.
Use the specifications to determine the component of instrumental uncertainty for
a particular measurement condition at time of use. When the Product is correctly
calibrated, the specifications can be applied to subsequent uncertainty analyses
as a Type B evaluation of measurement uncertainty. This is estimated as a
normal distribution with a coverage factor of K=2.58. Instrumental measurement
uncertainty is one of many contributors that must be considered in a thorough
uncertainty analysis.

Secondary performance specifications and operating characteristics are included
in the absolute specifications. They are provided for special calibration
requirements such as stability or linearity tests.
